Study Is Hard Work

This is one book I truly wish I had had when I was in high school and college. Although I managed to develop a method of study that proved effective, if I had been able to read this book first, I would have faced the task of studying with a confidence and surefootedness that I entirely lacked. Years of uncertainty and anxiety might have been transformed had I known then what Armstrong lays out so completely and clearly.

Study Is Hard Work was published too late for me to use, but not too late for today’s high school and college students. It is already required reading in numerous prep schools, and hailed by college educators as fostering the best kind of academic success — that founded on a love of learning and an ability to work hard and thoroughly.
